I'm sure it was a CL, Honda went CB for road, CM for street, CL for scrambler and SL for full house trailie dream bike. I always thought the CL350 was a girly looking thing (sorry Alison & co.)   too much like a pommy scrambler from Triumph etc... but would still love one today-funny how things change with some miles under the tyres.
The C50 was the step-thru and is still made today- somewhere in the world.

Shite MX I nearly messed meself - Thats the old girl alright. Where did you find her? I suppose Honda has a site of all the old models and am I right in the model designations?
Thanks for the blast from past.

There ya go Doc, you can learn every day. Mine was exactly like that except the pipe was cut off before the silencer and I made a spray paint can into a reso/muffler. The g/box was weird, 1st was realllly low and if yu went further than 2 yards it wouldn't go into second. No synchros??? Most likely had the same ratios as the scooter except for first as she was a trailie.
It's like finding a photo of my first girlfriend.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Cheers mate, as you see from the list above I will need a long retirerment to finish all my projects but hell, what's one more.
I'll need a medical check-up to see if I'm capable of handling the big block, so what sort of dollars?

Doc, that bike's (C2tr)in amazing condition. Looks like the TR was dual range. The C2SS (street scrambler) actually looked a lot like the F21M & would be preferable.

The "Kwaka" looks to be an early Taiwanese contribution to cheap motorcycling.
Daytona or Eastern Star 100cc.

Correct a Daytona (Taiwan)125 Road bike imported and sold by car racer Bob Jane in 1972.Engine is Kawa c2 120 copy. I have a one in the shed (rust never sleeps).

Well there you go! It's finally been put to rest, thanks Murn! Wonder what he'll do with it now?

 If he gets excited about it he can buy mine cheap which would be good for spares.

Actually have this bike in our possession now and have started the process of bringing it back to life. There have been various posts about people having some these in the back of the garage and would be interested in hearing from you as we are in need of a few pieces. Drop me a line please as we are keen to get her all shiny again.
